BrazilBlue Gecko Consulting and Olive Gaea bundle up their ESG offerings
Gulf-focused Blue Gecko Consulting has signed a strategic partnership with Olive Gaea, a company that provides tech platforms for net zero management.
The partnership combines Olive Gaea’s technology solutions with Blue Gecko Consulting expertise in sustainability communications, with the aim to offer joint clients an “end-to-end offering to manage ESG performance, measure, reduce, and abate emissions, while engaging stakeholders through compelling sustainability storytelling.”
Recently celebrated as one of the GCC’s leading sustainability communications consulting companies, Blue Gecko Consulting supports its clients with translating ESG ambitions into narratives that are understood and resonate. The consulting firm specializes in using communications to grow ESG impact and embed ESG goals across communication channels and culture. Its bases are in Abu Dhabi (UAE) and Antwerp (Belgium).
Dubai-based Olive Gaea was founded in 2021. Its platform helps companies automate ESG reporting, manage full-scope carbon accounting (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), and design actionable decarbonization strategies – aligned with (international) frameworks like CSRD, ISSB, GRI, and IFRS.
“Innovative companies like Olive Gaea are pivotal in helping companies define and refine their sustainability objectives and set clear roadmaps toward ambitious targets. But they need us to complete the circle. We work alongside them to understand a company’s sustainability goals and intended impact – allowing us to shape a meaningful narrative that extends from internal communications all the way through to stakeholder communications,” said Michelle Ponto, Founder and Managing Director of Blue Gecko Consulting.
“Businesses don’t just need to act on climate – they need to show how and why it matters. That’s where Blue Gecko Consulting’s storytelling expertise is invaluable,” added Vivek Tripathi, Co-Founder and CEO of Olive Gaea. “Together, we can offer a complete package.”
This partnership comes at a pivotal time for ESG reporting in the UAE. With the introduction of UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 11, effective May 30, 2025, and the Cabinet Resolution 67/2024 which comes into effect in Jan 2026, companies will face greater responsibility to contribute to the country’s Net Zero 2050 goals. Among several requirements, companies will face more stringent compliance and reporting requirements.
